To better gauge overall performance, we've gone beyond basic "win percentage" (colloquially known as "average"); we'll also be recording the ARV Weighted Win-Value. This takes into account the ARV, or Approximate Retail Value per at bat, giving us a measure for a player's power. Now "ARV Weighted Win-Value" is a bigger mouthful than the 20 piece meal I scarfed down yesterday, so we'll simply call it "slugging percentage" or "slugging" for short.
Without any further ado, here's what you've all been waiting for: the first week's stats.
I, McCappo, had a hot start before two sub-par performances to end the week. I'm still hanging in there with a solid .322 average and a decent .539 slugging. But don't count me out just yet; like any good fry I only get better with age (particularly when left under a car seat).
McKyle, last year's reigning batting champ, is off to a poor start. While he hasn't been getting as many starts as he did last year, he's only hitting a measly .111 with a .254 slugging. Maybe it's the Texas weather or a batting crown hangover, but my guess is you'll see a comeback from McKyle. You can't keep a kid of this caliber down for long.
The scrappy McGomez raised some eyebrows with his off-season training regiment, but it proves to be paying dividends (just like MCD in this tough economy). He's hitting an impressive .500 with a slugging percentage of .931! We should call this kid buffalo because he is HOT!
Then there's McHoff. We all remember his atrocious season in 2010, but this wiley vet refuses to quit. And why should he with a very respectable average of .333 and a slugging of .540. Not too shabby.
But the real story this year is the wunderkind, McHinck. The scouts for other teams were counting him out because of his mediocre competition in China, but he's proven he belongs on the dollar menu cuz he's the real deal. He's hitting an impressive .444 with a
So take a look at the graph below to see how the players compare and remember...
I'm Lovin' It,
